8 Months Ago vs Now: A Healing Journey – Post 6

Gaslighting. Confusion. Self-doubt.

That was my reality for far too long.
I questioned everything — even my own sanity.
I stopped trusting my instincts, my memory, my truth.

And that’s what abuse does.
It clouds your mind, distorts your reality, and convinces you that you are the problem.

But then I stepped away.
And the fog began to clear.

🧠 I think clearly now.
🗣️ I speak with confidence.
💬 I no longer apologize for things that aren’t mine to carry.
👁️ I trust my perception — not someone else’s version of events.

Clarity isn’t just a mental shift.
It’s an act of self-trust.
And self-trust is sacred.
